Well, that's sad. Looks like those prequels just aren't happening.

Well that's not so much an issue as they could get another similar sounding voice actor... But anyway, surprising news! Too bad... |

I'm sorry to hear this... I was a fan of the second Kung-Fu series, where he played the grandson of his character in the original series.
Condolences to his loved ones. |

Unfortunate to hear. It seems it's a suspected suicide, as he was found hanged: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31103217/. It's too bad really.

My condolences to his family. I remember watching Kung Fu: Legend Continues a long time ago.

Man, that's too bad. All the more if it's a suicide, which doesn't make sense currently.

As Actors and Famous people get older, one kind of expects to see names in the news as dying from time to time, but, if this was a suicide then its more shocking. My family all watched "Kung Fu" series as they were new back in the 1970's. It was entertaining. Been a fan of his since and liked even the extra shows on 'The History Channel' about wild west tech and such. His other family members did those too I think.
In any case, being alone (no one personal you can consult or talk to) can leave a person feeling like they have no where to turn. No idea on what or why he did it if he did off himself. Condolences to his friends and family. Sorry to hear that was the result, David Carradine .. RIP. |

Requiescat in pace.
I never got into the Kung Fu series - will always remember him as Bill. |

So very sad. Doubly sad because it looks like he chose to end his life.
You'll be missed, Sir! |

Apparently he was found naked hanging in his hotel closet. I have a hard time believing it was suicide when he's had so much going for him lately. There's a good chance it was an accidental death via erotic asphyxiation. That would certainly explain why he was naked.
Either way, it's sad to hear, he'll be missed greatly. Emerje |

"My stone has been taken, grasshopper. See you in the next life."
He hosted Wild West Tech as well. Gonna miss his wit on the show. |

When you hear about someone that age committing suicide, you have to wonder if he didn't have some health problems we didn't know about. I too never watched the Kung-Fu series, but to me he'll always be Bill, and that's enough, it was a great role and he played it magnificently. It's sad to see him go. |
